CFMOTO 450MT 2026

The CFmoto 450MT is a compelling choice as a lightweight and comfortable bike for adventure touring enthusiasts seeking a good balance between size and weight. It offers satisfactory engine performance for off-road use. On the road, the twin-cylinder engine needs plenty of revs to get going, yet performs with confidence. The build quality and appearance are impressive, and the engine’s power delivery is linear and easy to control, apart from the load-change reactions. Minor criticisms concern the suspension, which reaches its limits under heavy use. Overall, the CFmoto 450MT offers good value for money and is an attractive choice for riders looking for a reliable and well-equipped enduro bike.
